A man has sparked a debate on Reddit after he admitted to making an 'obese' passenger pay him an extra $100 because he took up part of his seat. The supposed incident was reported on the infamous subreddit "Am I The A**hole?' where the user asked: 'AITA for making an obese man pay me cash to take up part of my seat on a long flight?' According to the man he was on a 5-hour cross-country flight where he had purposefully booked an aisle seat in a row of just two meaning there was no middle seat; just an aisle and a window seat. The user said that he saw the other passenger coming and was 'crossing his fingers' that he wasn't sitting next to him but sure enough he was. The man continues: "I get up and let him in politely, wanting to at least give him a chance. Well, he sits down and is easily seeping into about 1/3 of my seat. I sit down and am pressed up against him, making me uncomfortable. After a minute, I decided to be upfront and tell him: “Sir, I’m sorry but this situation is not working for me, you’re taking up quite a bit of my seat”. He added that the passenger just gave him a 'shrug' and tried to make himself narrower by tightening his arms but did little to appease the disgruntled man. He eventually decided to consult an air stewardess who told him the only way he they could resolve the issue was to buy another seat or book another flight. There were no other seats available on the plane though and the man admitted that he couldn't wait for a later flight, that's when he decided to make the 'obese' man an offer: "Look, I’ll put up with this if you give me $150 — that’s half the cost of this flight and that would compensate me enough for the circumstances." Amazingly, he claimed that the other man instantly agreed to this deal and not only paid him in cash but also told him that he 'appreciated' it. However, despite both men reportedly being happy with the resolution the man claimed that others on board were quietly judging him and branded him an 'a**hole' for making the other man pay to sit next to him. Needless to say many felt the man was out of order for the way he acted. One person said: "The problem here was that this large dude stuck you with being uncomfortable on your flight, right? Well, the $150 didn't make you any less squished in your seat, so it really feels like you just blackmailed this guy for being fat." Another wrote: "This is ridiculous. You made a scene and embarrassed the man and then made him pay you for a fraction of your seat. You are the epitome of an a**hole." A third added: "You didn’t settle this privately—you humiliated the guy by involving the flight attendant and then demanding $150 to allow him to stay on this flight." Some did defend him though feeling that the other man and the airline were in the wrong. One said: "He should have bought two seats, this is his fault, in fact he got off well with it. He agreed and you agreed. I am sure if the people behind you were in the same position they would have thought differently." A second person wrote: "You compromised. He compromised. It was an awkward situation of nobody's making. I think half the cost of the flight was maybe a bit steep though, if he was only in a third of your seat. Having said that, five hours is a long time."

Israel is ratcheting up ground operations in Gaza with troops, tanks and artillery battling Hamas fighters after the

Another day, another beef in the world of online content creation – and this time, it’s between MrBeast and Rosanna Pansino. While it’s normally the likes of Logan Paul or more recently SSSniperWolf and JacksFilms sparking drama, this time MrBeast and Rosanna Pansino are the ones causing all the fuss. So what’s it all about? MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, is the biggest name on YouTube with 204 million subscribers. Pansino is a big name too, with more than 14.5 million subscribers herself. However, she’s accusing him of lying about the outcome of a recent viral challenge. Pansino competed in one of the three hide-and-seek challenges hosted by MrBeast in Creator Games 3. Pansino is now accusing MrBeast of manipulating the edit to present a version of events which didn’t really happen and effectively reducing her role in the clip. Extreme $1,000,000 Hide And Seek www.youtube.com The YouTuber posted a message on Twitter/X with the caption: “I have been allowing others to treat me poorly in private for many years and I’m fed up. “I am going to start standing up for myself and finding my voice.” The content creator wrote: “When the video was released I was shocked, disappointed, and felt hurt. MrBeast (Jimmy) had edited the video to make me look like I performed worse than I did,” Pansino said. “This was extra upsetting because I genuinely believed him when he said that his videos are ‘authentic and real’.” Pansino also disputed the top three shown in the video, which were Zach King, Logan Paula and Larray. “The final [three] people were actually Zach, Quackity, and myself,” Pansino said. “This is what actually happened. Despite Jimmy editing out the only female in the top [three], I was proud of what I achieved.” Pansino doesn't appear to be backing down either as she has now released a series of DM's which she claims were from Donaldson who was asking her to ring him. In the leaked messages Donaldson appeared to ask Pansino to call him to "figure out what happened." She explained that she had no intention of causing drama but was "really hurt by the editing decisions." She added: "Editing me out of the top 3 and making me look like I performed worse than I did felt awful. Quackity was also edited out of the top 3 and he also talked about it." Donaldson replied: "Obviously I wasn’t trying to make you look bad! Just give me a time we can chat, I’m not mad or anything. Just want to help." Pansino added: "I’ll give you some time to look into it and remember and then we can discuss. I’m more than happy to review all the raw footage to help show the timeline of events. Feel free to send it over to my team. Let me know.” She has also claimed that when she asked Donaldson for 'raw footage' he went 'radio silent' on her.

Autumn lovers are ecstatic to see the return of cosiness, with a season filled with pumpkin spice lattes, Gilmore Girls and cinnamon-scented candles. But what if we said you could be paid to do all of the above? That's right. Lingerie brand Pour Moi is on the hunt for a 'cosy coordinator,' and all they have to do is their favourite cosy season tasks while wearing their bras and pants. For the new role, the brand wants someone who knows pumpkin spices from their hot chocolates and loves nothing more than a cosy night on the sofa. The job tasks include drinking some of the season's most popular autumn-inspired hot drinks, watching your favourite fall-feeling box set or film and curling up on the sofa with a good book - all whilst wearing Pour Moi’s comfortable range of non-wired bras and soft pants. The successful candidate will be paid £300 for simply enjoying their favourite season. Emma Woodrow, Junior Buyer for Lingerie from Pour Moi, said: "Autumn is the perfect season to settle down and get cosy, but you might not think that underwear would be the comfiest thing to have on whilst snuggling up on the sofa enjoying a cosy afternoon in. "However, we’ve made it our focus to make sure that you have supportive and comfortable lingerie for all occasions, including relaxing at home. We’re excited to launch this new Cosy Coordinator role, to ensure that our super soft bras and pants are the best they can be for a lazy weekend in - proving you can be cosy and supported at the same time."

A wedding was ruined after a woman reported to be the groom’s ex showed up and threw poo over the newlyweds. The happy couple were walking through the square outside the church in Bolivia, having just tied the knot, when the alleged attack happened. A crowd of smiling onlookers had gathered to cheer and congratulate the pair on their big day. However, a woman, not identified by name but believed to be the groom’s ex, reportedly approached the newlyweds with a bucket filled with excrement and oil. She allegedly threw the contents over the couple, covering the bride’s white dress, hair and face in the muck. The groom’s military outfit was soiled by the oily poo, while at least one guest was also doused. The woman allegedly carried out the attack out of jealousy for her ex marrying someone else, according to local media. The bride took to social media afterwards, saying that she hopes her husband’s former partner “will let us live in peace after getting her revenge”. It is unclear if the attack was reported to the authorities. One local commented: “Hahaha, that's crazy.” Maria said: “That's stooping low as a woman. No matter how damaged or cheated you feel, never seek revenge. Let him be happy with his new partner.” Paula wrote: “What a shame for the bride, she will always have this uncomfortable moment in her mind.” Jazmin added: “How ridiculous he didn't want to marry that woman for some reason...” Gabriel said: “These types of acts should be reported. We all have an ex. I wouldn’t want to see this kind of thing happen to my daughters or anyone else.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Have your say in our news democracy.

Amouranth has lifted the lid on her most recent project, and it's certainly dividing social media. The popular Twitch streamer made a name for herself as one of the most successful female Twitch stars since she joined the platform in 2016. She has since gone on to add OnlyFans to her resume, along with a string of unique business ventures, which include selling bath water and farts in a jar. Yes, you read that correctly. Amouranth – real name Kaitlyn Siragusa – has now revealed she will be selling her yeast in collaboration with a beer company. "I’m actually working with a beverage company. It’s not my own. I’m still doing that project. There’s a beer company. They’re European. They want me to send in my vaginal yeast," she candidly revealed while speaking about the Polish brewery ‘The Order Of Yoni’. "Like basically like pap smear myself. They want to make beer using my vaginal yeast… like the same profile, I guess." On the company website, they wrote: "Imagine an extremely sensual image of femininity, which has often appeared in the wildest of fantasies." It added: "Reach out for a bottle filled with a golden beverage replete with female essence, give yourself up to your instincts and enjoy the intimacy of an extraordinary model. "The Order of Yoni is a sensual experience in the form of a beer enclosed in a bottle, obtaining its unusual flavour notes through the use of champagne yeast, wheat malts, and exclusive additives in the form of orange peel, coriander and aframomum. "The composition is enhanced with the use of lactic acid from vaginal bacteria to bring pleasure to every sip."
